Win Me Something
商品資訊
商品簡介
I wanted to be chosen, or to choose--maybe I wasn't sure the difference yet. Just that I saw choices glimmering outside my reach, and I wanted badly to get closer.
After college, Willa Chen never expected to be a nanny in New York, and certainly not for a family like the Adriens. With an entire apartment floor to themselves, and a living room the size of a football field, theirs is the kind of home many people dream of. But it's the way that Nathalie, Gabe, and their daughter, Bijou, seem to belong together, to care for one another, that really strikes Willa, who still feels unmoored and grapples with loneliness even as she begins to feel part of their glamorous world.
As she draws closer to Bijou and her parents, and eventually moves in with them, Willa finds herself questioning who she is, and revisiting a childhood where she never felt quite at home--her life split between her white mother's new white, working-class family and her Chinese father's new, biracial wealthier family. Though she's used to feeling caught in the middle, uniquely in-between, her time with the Adriens forces Willa to ask herself what it really means to belong, and how she might begin to live on her own terms.
Self-examining and fraught with the emotions of a family who fails and loves in equal measure, Win Me Something is a nuanced coming-of-age novel about the irreparable fissures between people, and a young woman who asks: what kind of identity means you won't be ignored?
